[MBZ] O/T: Chess
Hi: Is there anyone on the list who likes to play chess? I played as a kid, but only (mostly) knew how to move the pieces. I am really enjoying it! I am currently playing one of my sons (the one who owns a Mercedes) and one of his friends on chess.com. I have played a few games already, and am learning a lot. Let me know. Perhaps we can play.

Given the $60k price of the USA version, I'm thinking $40k (average price of a F250 Powerstroke ten years ago) would be a miracle.

Re: [MBZ] Sanden AC kit
Your last statement needs a slight modification: Kaleb: the reason for the Sanden over the York is that it uses less power to do just a good enough a job. The York will freeze you out of the car. Granted a 240D is dragged down to puttering speed but snow is blowing out the vents. I've never seen another AC compressor do that... -Curt From: MG via Mercedes To: Mercedes Discussion List Sent: Monday, September 22, 2014 3:17 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Sanden AC kit Jaime Kopchinski wrote: > Hi Manfred, > Why replace the R4?

Should be nice. > > Jaime Well the main reason is that mine seems to be going bad. Not cooling too well despite near normal pressures (little low on the high and a little high on the low) but the main thing is that with AC on and compressor turning, the main shaft of it moves in and out about 1/8 or a bit more when you rev the engine a bit (2200 appx. on up. With the clutch disengaged the face is right close. Engaged it still looks right but when the engine is reved the center of the clutch shaft/hub moves out. Moves back in as it gets near to idle (1500 rpm). Yes I did check the bolt on the front of the clutch and it is not the clutch pulley itself that is moving so that is still tight on the body and has good bearings. Also when driving using the AC if the engine hits higher revs (3500 or more) when accelerating or trans kicks down when passing it seems to be enough to start the clutch sliding and AC starts blowing warm. If I turn off the AC and wait 5 seconds or so and start it again the AC will start cooling again but never to where it should be (60 to 70> deg air vent temp at 90>). My 83 300D with the R4 gets down to 45 at the same temps. Could be I got a marginal compressor when I bought it new. Cant, return it as it was more then 1.5 years ago when I bought it. So I figure if I will have to put a new one on I might as well spend a little more and have a better compressor that will in the future cost less to replace and should even be a bit better since it doesn't tend to circulate oil as much as the R4 thus providing a bit better cooling, not as much oil in the condenser or evap so less barrier to heat exchange. Kaleb: the reason for the Sanden over the York is that it uses less power to do just as good a job. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Re: [MBZ] 420 SEL
There is a separate thread in the "For sale" forum where a couple of people have addressed that. A decent used low mile engine would be around $2k. The problem with that is the loss of matching numbers, if that matters. If it were me and I wanted to maintain the value and integrity, I would have the original engine torn down and repaired. I don't see the R129 being a "classic" for a long, long time. Too many of them produced and certainly nothing special about the lines or design in my opinion. And I own one, too. The problem with this car, I believe, is the owners are placing too much emphasis on "potential" value. There is no clear direction on how it might be repaired or "restored", and no matter how it is done, it will never, ever possess the value that it held prior to the engine failure. In my mind the car is worth maybe $10-15k at best. Figure a used engine at $2k of a complete rebuild at $5k and you still would be hard pressed to recover the value, if possible. I think they're screwed if you ask me. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Sep 22, 2014, at 6:40 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > What would a used engine transplant cost?

Re: [MBZ] Sanden AC kit
Jaime Kopchinski wrote: Hi Manfred, Why replace the R4? I've found them to work pretty well and be reasonably smooth on the diesel. Power useage isn't too bad on the turbo too. If you had a york (or a 240D), I'd understand... I just replaced one of these with a sanden in a 70 280se with good results. I used a generic bracket and made my own hoses, but this is much easier with the early cars. I'm also about to so the same on a 74 240d. Should be nice. Jaime Well the main reason is that mine seems to be going bad. Not cooling too well despite near normal pressures (little low on the high and a little high on the low) but the main thing is that with AC on and compressor turning, the main shaft of it moves in and out about 1/8 or a bit more when you rev the engine a bit (2200 appx. on up. With the clutch disengaged the face is right close. Engaged it still looks right but when the engine is reved the center of the clutch shaft/hub moves out. Moves back in as it gets near to idle (1500 rpm). Yes I did check the bolt on the front of the clutch and it is not the clutch pulley itself that is moving so that is still tight on the body and has good bearings. Also when driving using the AC if the engine hits higher revs (3500 or more) when accelerating or trans kicks down when passing it seems to be enough to start the clutch sliding and AC starts blowing warm. If I turn off the AC and wait 5 seconds or so and start it again the AC will start cooling again but never to where it should be (60 to 70> deg air vent temp at 90>). My 83 300D with the R4 gets down to 45 at the same temps. Could be I got a marginal compressor when I bought it new. Cant, return it as it was more then 1.5 years ago when I bought it. So I figure if I will have to put a new one on I might as well spend a little more and have a better compressor that will in the future cost less to replace and should even be a bit better since it doesn't tend to circulate oil as much as the R4 thus providing a bit better cooling, not as much oil in the condenser or evap so less barrier to heat exchange. Kaleb: the reason for the Sanden over the York is that it uses less power to do just as good a job. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Re: [MBZ] 420 SEL
Yeah, but a Chevy dealer and about 90 miles away in a small town with no one likely to be very knowledgeable about MB so not easy to do. My guess, for what it is worth, is that the car maybe belonged to the owner of the dealership or his wife, or father etc. It just seems odd to me that they have sat on it at the same price for at least 6 months. That sort of says to me that they have a personal interest in it or they would have just sent it to the auction long ago.
